V (2009 TV series)

V (2009–2011) is an ABC TV series about an extraterrestrial race who arrives on Earth with seemingly good intentions, only to slowly reveal their true machinations the more ingrained into society they become.

Ryan: No. He's not a myth. He's real. John May is the leader of the Fifth Column. First group of Visitors to ever turn against the leadership, he started it.

Georgie: The Visitors have sleeper cells everywhere.

Ryan: Yeah, and so do we. The Fifth Column is down but it's not out. We can win this.

Georgie: And if John May gets into this?

Ryan: He'll bring an army.

Tyler: You got your Visa today, huh?

Lisa: Yeah.

Tyler: So, what do you think about New York?

Lisa: Still getting the hang of this whole Earth thing, you know?

Tyler: Yeah, me too.

Jack: I wanna be useful. I wanna be able to look people in the eye and say, "God loves you and everything's gonna be fine." How do I tell them that? I don't even know what to tell myself anymore.

Erica: I know how you feel.

Jack: Why are the V's doing it like this? Why the infiltration? Why the sleeper cells? Why don't they just annihilate us and get it over with?

Erica: Because they're smart and patient and whatever their plan is, they need us for something. And until we figure out what that is we have to fight them the same way they're fighting us: one step at a time.

Anna: (to Lisa) Joshua said you passed the empathy test - I never doubted you.

Secretary General: Anna came here under the guise of diplomacy, but played politics with tragedy. She used the people of Timbal to gain public and political clout. The question is, if they're just visitors, why does she need that clout?

Chad: They think you are a God.

Anna: Who does that make you?

Chad: A believer. Can I tell you what I believe? You are not just visitors, you are here to stay. But, are you here for our benefit or for yours?

Ryan: I need you to get into the car - okay? The visitors know about us now and will be looking for us.

Valerie: Why?

Ryan: They want our baby.

Ryan: We have to go.

Valerie: Where are we going to go?

Ryan: Somewhere where the V's won't find us.

Valerie: I don't want to see you again because I don't forgive you.

Ryan: It was always for you... everything I ever did was for you.

Erica: I'm sorry. I'm... I'm hearing this for the first time and it's from my son's girlfriend, and I'm... I feel like he's slipping away from me and he doesn't know it, and... I want him to be happy.

Lisa: I'm sorry, Mrs. Evans.

Erica: It's not your fault.

Lisa': It is.

Father Jack: Until we know for a fact he's not who he says he is, we treat him with decency.

Kyle: Human decency's a privilege, father. He's lost his. And, when we prove to you that he's lying, you're gonna lose yours, too.

Anna: A human female is carrying a visitor baby. The existence of this baby puts our entire species at risk. A hybrid can be born with human emotions, love. The Fifth Column could breed an entire generation of hybrids to fight against us. It is a mongrel, a threat to our survival.

Jack: Look, Ryan, I know that...Val's funeral was this morning, and I get that anger is easier than grief. So you can get all pissed off at what we're dealing with and go after them. We can do that, and we will. But you can't carry all this into that fight.

Ryan: Yeah? How come I can't?

Jack: Because if you shut it out, you'll lose sight of what you're really fighting for.

Agent Malik: They think Red Sky was the first volley in a battle against humanity, and they're willing to do anything to throw a wrench in the Visitors' plans.

Erica: What plans?

Kendrick: Eat our brains, kidnap our young.

Erica: I am very glad that you're on board. You are an excellent resource.

Lisa: I know you're holding in your emotions. Your father just died. It's okay to be sad, to feel.

Tyler: You don't get it, Lisa. I don't want to feel anything anymore. I just want to be a shuttle pilot and forget about my past

Ryan: I have to get my baby away from Anna. I need help. You know, of all the people, I thought you would be the one that understands. Everybody needs a second chance.

Jack: I'm not a priest anymore, Ryan. It's not my job to absolve you.

Erica: If we are going to defeat the V's, we need to change tactics. Eli died at the hands of the Visitors because his plan didn't work. We are going to bring this war to Anna. I have contacts on her ship, access that you don't have that you will never have.
